We find many homeowners in St. Georges love cedar shake roofs because of the natural and rustic appearance that they offer. Cedar shake takes extreme specialization. Whether it is a cedar wood repair or cedar shake roof replacement, you want a cedar shake roofing company that is familiar with the process from start to finish.

Why Consider Cedar Shake Shingles?

There are numerous benefits and advantages for investing in a cedar shake roof, such as:

Weather Resistance: Cedar wood holds up extremely well to decay, storm damage, and insects. It is a low-density material that lies flat.

Eco-Friendly: Natural insulators

Options: Many styles and sizes available on the marketplace today

Toughness

Fights moss growth

Cedar shake has been used going back to the Colonial period – and is just as practical now as it was then. With beautiful colors, and strong material, cedar shake is a fantastic roofing material to consider.

Cedar Shake Installation

Unlike a slate roof that is extremely heavy, a cedar shake roof is lightweight and easy to install. Perhaps you already have an asphalt shingle roof that is nearing the end of its life after 15 or 20 years, or perhaps your existing roof has storm damage, and you need a full roof replacement. A cedar shake roof can be installed on your St. Georges roof if you have spaced sheathing or solid decking (nothing rotting). The cedar shingles will be nailed to your sheathing.

St. Georges Cedar Shake Roof Replacement

How do you know if your cedar shake roof shingles need to be replaced? Are they:

Cracked?

Curling along the edge?

Damaged from a recent storm?

Suffering from moss growth?

Lifted from a wind storm?

If your cedar roof shingles are damaged, you may need to have those shingles replaced with a properly fitted cedar shake shingle nailed into place.

How to maintain & care for your Cedar Shake Roof?

Caring for your cedar shake roof can extend its lifespan. The more exposure to moisture your roof has, it can begin to decay. Some things to do to maintain your roof are removing debris, removing stains, repairing damaged shingles, eliminating nearby tree branches.
If maintained properly, a wood shingle roof can last for 30 or more years.
This is why you want to work with a St. Georges roofing company that specializes in cedar shake shingles installation and replacement.

Example of What Kinds of Cedar Shake are available?

There are handsplit shakes, tapersawn shakes, and shingles
Handsplit Shakes: can typically be found in 18 or 24 inch lengths. They have a natural look and charm to them.
Tapersawn: Offer a thicker appearance and shadow than shingles.
Shingles: Smoothest appearance & typically even thickness.

More Info

Saint Georges is an unincorporated community and former municipality situated on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in New Castle County, Delaware, about midway between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay.

St. Georges was settled before 1730 at the head of the St. Georges Creek. A tavern was built in 1735 and King’s Highway was constructed through the settlement in 1762. St. Georges was incorporated as a town in 1825.[2] After being divided by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and then bypassed by a newer bridge, the town asked to have their charter revoked by the state in 1940.[3] The community has at least one civic association, the North Saint Georges Civic Association which represents the community to the New Castle County Council.[4]

Replacing a roof is a labor intensive project and depending upon the type, size and complexity of the roof it could take one day or a few days or more to complete. It also depends upon weather conditions. Bad weather always creates delays and hinders completion of the project.

Can you install roof shingles in winter?

Asphalt shingles can be installed properly in winter (late fall and winter) but only if some additional costly measures are taken. A specialized adhesive is needed to be manually applied to each shingle if the temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the minimum roof pitch for asphalt shingles?

The manufacturers say a 4/12 pitch is the minimum but the absolute minimum is 2/12. Pitch is measure in inches in vertical rise over one foot of horizontal run. So a 4/12 pitch roof rises 4 inches vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.

How long do asphalt shingles last?

Asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years. Wood shingles and shakes have a target lifetime of 30 years, but they can last much longer under moderate weather conditions.

What roof lasts the longest?

Material lifespan:

Wood Shake

14-20 years

Asphalt Shingle

10-30 years (20 is the norm)

Metal/Steel

50+ years

Slate

50+ years

Tile/Concrete

50+ years

Foam

25+ years

Built-Up (BUR)

25-30 years

Single-Ply

30+ years

So the metal, steel, tile, concrete and slate roofs last the longest. Asphalt, built-ups and single ply are the next longest lasting roofing material.

Are metal roofs noisy?

This may surprise you but metal roofs, when installed with solid sheathing, are actually quieter than asphalt roofs. These metal roofs, when installed properly, can actually silence the noise from rain, hail and other bad weather better than those other roofing materials.

Do metal roofs attract lightening?

No. Metal roofs do not attract lightening and are not struck any more often than any other roofing materials. People’s concern about metal roofs being hit by lightning strikes comes from the fact that metal can be an electrical conductor.

Bottom line, what is the cost to the homeowner?

Does my roof have to be replaced or can it be repaired?

The common thought is that a leaking roof has to be replaced, but this is not necessarily the solution unless it is very old. Those missing, cracked, broken, or curling shingles are able to be repaired and replaced to stop a leak without replacing the whole roof, while older roofs or roofs with many leaks or other issues should be replaced.

What is the cost to repair my roof?

Repair costs vary and depend upon the pitch of the roof, the kind of shingles used, the condition of it, and how many different layers of shingles are on the roof. The only way to know what the price is to have someone come out to your house and provide you with a free quote.
